In turn, the precursor compound, that is, 7‐(3‐azido‐2‐hydroxypropyloxy)‐3‐alkyl‐4‐methylcoumarin, was synthesized by condensation of epichlorohydrin with 7‐hydroxy‐3‐alkyl‐4‐methylcoumarins followed by opening of the epoxide ring in the resulted 7‐epoxymethoxy‐3‐alkyl‐4‐methylcoumarins with sodium azide. All the synthesized compounds were unambiguously identified on the basis of their spectral data analyses (IR, ¹H‐NMR, ¹³C‐NMR spectra, and HRMS).

Influence of fluorine substitution on the molecular conformation of 3′‐deoxy‐3′‐fluoro‐5‐methyluridine

Fluorine substitutions on the furanose ring of nucleosides are known to strongly influence the conformational properties of oligonucleotides. In order to assess the effect of fluorine on the conformation of 3′‐deoxy‐3′‐fluoro‐5‐methyluridine (^RT^F), C₁₀H₁₃FN₂O₅, we studied its stereochemistry in the crystalline state using X‐ray crystallography. The compound crystallizes in the chiral orthorhombic space group P2₁2₁2₁ and contains two symmetry‐independent molecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. The furanose ring in molecules A and B adopts conformations between envelope (²E, 2′‐endo, P = 162°) and twisted (²T₃, 2′‐endo and 3′exo, P = 180°), with pseudorotation phase angles (P) of 164.3 and 170.2°, respectively. The maximum puckering amplitudes, ν_max, for molecules A and B are 38.8 and 36.1°, respectively. In contrast, for 5‐methyluridine (^RT^OH), the value of P is 21.2°, which is between the ³E (3′‐endo, P = 18.0°) and ³T₄ (3′‐endo and 4′‐exo, P = 36°) conformations. The value of ν_max for ^RT^OH is 41.29°. Molecules A and B of ^RT^F generate respective helical assemblies across the crystallographic 2₁‐screw axis through classical N—H…O aand O—H…O hydrogen bonds supplemented by C—H…O contacts. Adjacent parallel helices of both molecules are linked to each other via O—H…O and O…π interactions.

A convenient synthesis of α,α′‐ homo‐ and α,α′‐hetero‐bifunctionalized poly(ε‐caprolactone)s by ring opening polymerization: The potentially valuable precursors for miktoarm star copolymers

Two new ring opening polymerization (ROP) initiators, namely, (3‐allyl‐2‐(allyloxy)phenyl)methanol and (3‐allyl‐2‐(prop‐2‐yn‐1‐yloxy)phenyl)methanol each containing two reactive functionalities viz. allyl, allyloxy and allyl, propargyloxy, respectively, were synthesized from 3‐allylsalicyaldehyde as a starting material. Well defined α‐allyl, α′‐allyloxy and α‐allyl, α′‐propargyloxy bifunctionalized poly(ε‐caprolactone)s with molecular weights in the range 4200–9500 and 3600–10,900 g/mol and molecular weight distributions in the range 1.16–1.18 and 1.15–1.16, respectively, were synthesized by ROP of ε‐caprolactone employing these initiators. The presence of α‐allyl, α′‐allyloxy and α‐allyl, α′‐propargyloxy functionalities on poly(ε‐caprolactone)s was confirmed by FT‐IR, ¹H, ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, and MALDI‐TOF analysis. The kinetic study of ROP of ε‐caprolactone with both the initiators revealed the pseudo first order kinetics with respect to ε‐caprolactone consumption and controlled behavior of polymerization reactions. The usefulness of α‐allyl, α′‐allyloxy functionalities on poly(ε‐caprolactone) was demonstrated by performing the thiol‐ene reaction with poly(ethylene glycol) thiol to obtain (mPEG)₂‐PCL miktoarm star copolymer. α‐Allyl, α′‐propargyloxy functionalities on poly(ε‐caprolactone) were utilized in orthogonal reactions i.e copper catalyzed alkyne‐azide click (CuAAC) with azido functionalized poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) followed by thiol‐ene reaction with poly(ethylene glycol) thiol to synthesize PCL‐PNIPAAm‐mPEG miktoarm star terpolymer. The preliminary characterization of A₂B and ABC miktoarm star copolymers was carried out by ¹H NMR spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

Synthesis,Modification, and Anticonvulsant Activity of 3′‐R1‐Spiro[indoline‐3,6′‐[1,2,4]triazino[2,3‐c]quinazolin]‐2,2′(7′H)‐diones Derivatives

Previously unknown 3′‐R¹‐5‐R²‐spiro[indoline‐3,6′‐[1,2,4]triazino[2,3‐c]quinazoline]‐2,2′‐(7′H)‐diones and their N‐substituted analogues were obtained via reaction of 6‐R¹‐3‐(2‐aminophenyl)‐1,2,4‐triazin‐5‐ones with isatin and its substituted derivatives. It was shown that alkylation of 3′‐R¹‐5‐R²‐spiro[indoline‐3,6′‐[1,2,4]triazino[2,3‐c]quinazolin]‐2,2′‐(7′H)‐diones by N‐R³‐chloroacetamides or chloroacetonitrile in the presence of а base proceeds by N‐1 atom of isatin fragment. The spectral properties (¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra) of synthesized compounds were studied, and features of spectral patterns were discussed. The high‐effective anticonvulsant and radical scavenging agents among 3′‐R¹‐5‐R²‐spiro[indoline‐3,6′‐[1,2,4]triazino[2,3‐c]quinazolin]‐2,2′(7′H)‐diones and their N‐substituted derivatives were detected. It was shown that compounds 2.2 , 2.8 , and 3.1 exceed or compete the activity of the most widely used in modern neurology drug—lamotrigine on the pentylenetetrazole‐induced seizures model. The aforementioned fact may be considered as a reason for further profound study of synthesized compounds using other pathology models.     

Experimental and theoretical investigations of the antioxidant activity of 2,2′‐methylenebis(4,6‐dialkylphenol) compounds

The antioxidant activity of two primary antioxidants, 2,2′‐methylenebis(4‐methyl‐6‐tert ‐butylphenol) (MMBPH2) and 2,2′‐methylenebis(4,6‐di‐tert ‐butylphenol) (MDBPH2), has been studied using the 1,1‐diphenyl‐2‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. The synthesized compounds have been successfully characterized systematically using elemental analyses, infrared, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectra and GC–MS. Importantly, it has been found that the compound MMBPH2 in particular is more active in DPPH radical scavenging. In addition, density functional theory calculations (B3LYP) have been used to predict the antioxidant activity and predict structural geometries of the compounds in the gas phase.     

Site‐Directed Spin‐Labeling of DNA by the Azide–Alkyne ‘Click’ Reaction: Nanometer Distance Measurements on 7‐Deaza‐2′‐deoxyadenosine and 2′‐Deoxyuridine Nitroxide Conjugates Spatially Separated or Linked to a ‘dA‐dT’ Base Pair

Nucleobase‐directed spin‐labeling by the azide‐alkyne ‘click’ (CuAAC) reaction has been performed for the first time with oligonucleotides. 7‐Deaza‐7‐ethynyl‐2′‐deoxyadenosine ( 1 ) and 5‐ethynyl‐2′‐deoxyuridine ( 2 ) were chosen to incorporate terminal triple bonds into DNA. Oligonucleotides containing 1 or 2 were synthesized on a solid phase and spin labeling with 4‐azido‐2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidine 1‐oxyl (4‐azido‐TEMPO, 3 ) was performed by post‐modification in solution. Two spin labels ( 3 ) were incorporated with high efficiency into the DNA duplex at spatially separated positions or into a ‘dA‐dT’ base pair. Modification at the 5‐position of the pyrimidine base or at the 7‐position of the 7‐deazapurine residue gave steric freedom to the spin label in the major groove of duplex DNA. By applying cw and pulse EPR spectroscopy, very accurate distances between spin labels, within the range of 1–2 nm, were measured. The spin–spin distance was 1.8±0.2 nm for DNA duplex 17 ( dA*^7,10 ) ?11 containing two spin labels that are separated by two nucleotides within one individual strand. A distance of 1.4±0.2 nm was found for the spin‐labeled ‘dA‐dT’ base pair 15 ( dA*⁷ ) ?16 ( dT*⁶ ). The ‘click’ approach has the potential to be applied to all four constituents of DNA, which indicates the universal applicability of the method. New insights into the structural changes of canonical or modified DNA are expected to provide additional information on novel DNA structures, protein interaction, DNA architecture, and synthetic biology.

‘Click Synthesis’ of 1H‐1,2,3‐Triazolyl‐Based Oxiconazole (=(1Z)‐1‐(2,4‐Dichlorophenyl)‐2‐(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)ethanone O‐[(2,4‐Dichlorophenyl)methyl]oxime) Analogs

The ‘click synthesis’ of some oxiconazole analogs 5a – 5v having 1H‐1,2,3‐triazolyl residues by Huisgen cycloaddition was achieved in four steps (Scheme 1). Oximation of phenacyl chloride ( 1 ) followed by azidation of 2‐chloro‐1‐phenylethanone oxime ( 2 ) provided azido ketoxime 3 . The CuI‐catalyzed Huisgen cycloaddition of 3 with terminal alkynes gave the 4‐substituted (at the triazole) 2‐(1H‐1,2,3‐triazol‐1‐yl)‐1‐phenylethanone oximes 4a – 4i . The O‐alkylation of 4a – 4i with various alkyl halides resulted in the formation of the target molecules 5a – 5v in good yields.     

A Novel,One‐Pot Four‐Component Route to 2′‐Thioxo‐2′,3′‐dihydrospiro[indole‐3,6′‐[1,3]thiazin]‐2‐one Derivatives

An efficient route to 2′,3′‐dihydro‐2′‐thioxospiro[indole‐3,6′‐[1,3]thiazin]‐2(1H)‐one derivatives is described. It involves the reaction of isatine, 1‐phenyl‐2‐(1,1,1‐triphenyl‐λ⁵‐phosphanylidene)ethan‐1‐one, and different amines in the presence of CS₂ in dry MeOH at reflux (Scheme 1). The alkyl carbamodithioate, which results from the addition of the amine to CS₂, is added to the α,β‐unsaturated ketone, resulting from the reaction between 1‐phenyl‐2‐(1,1,1‐triphenyl‐λ⁵‐phosphanylidene)ethan‐1‐one and isatine, to produce the 3′‐alkyl‐2′,3′‐dihydro‐4′‐phenyl‐2′‐thioxospiro[indole‐3,6′‐[1,3]thiazin]‐2(1H)‐one derivatives in excellent yields (Scheme 2). Their structures were corroborated spectroscopically (IR, ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR, and EI‐MS) and by elemental analyses.
